My assumption:

There is a great need for handicap accessible rental homes given the increase in handicapped persons in the United States.

My hope:

There are special tax incentives for handicap property providers.  

Thoughts?

My business partner and I operate a video production company. We've been learning about REI over the past few months but we are both still newbs to all this. As we've been learning my partner has been looking for a personal home for his family. They have a good credit rating and good income but were just refused a loan for the home they want because it's a manufactured home. It's situated on 20 beautiful acres in Michigan and there is a full basement under the home but the bank flat out said NO to a loan on the basis that it's a manufactured home.

I just got off the phone with him and he's a bit discouraged and really doesn't want to crawl around from bank to bank to find someone that will write a loan for a manufactured home. As we've learned more about REI we dislike banks more and more and thought someone here in BP might be able to point him to a different source.

Any out of the box ideas I could share with him?

Thanks in advance

P.S. I know the property is listed at $160K and he has $60K available from savings and other sources.

And no, my "friend" is not me. He is in-fact my business partner. ;-)

@John Moore I've done a lot of Real Estate videos and my clients have never asked to put prices in the video. That might be an effective strategy though. I'll bring that up next time we do one.

@Vicky Covarrubias thanks for the kind words! I'm located in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. I'd be happy to answer any video questions if you have them. I'm not much help in REI questions yet though ;-)

Post might be old but is it truly illegal to bird dog for mobile homes in Michigan?

Why in the world would Bird dogging be illegal?

@George P. I think even some simple video with quality voice over and music would be helpful. They can be done on a budget.

Here are some low budget videos we did for a local investor friend:

These are a mix of photos with movement added and video shots using some tools like sliders.

@Geprge P. what is your site?

@Will Barnard that's a good idea. I think that we often forget about using video to document and we typically think about it as a marketing tool alone.
